I use the DD stuff. I always get the coralline color though. Last time OA was out and I got the grey stuff. Its total crap. I ended up chucking it out as well. Never had the issues with the skimmer though. Now I'm back to the purple stuff and its fine. Weird.

I think I've used the D-D coraline stuff before and did not have skimmer issues with it. Although I seem to recall I could barely knead the stuff into a workable glop either.
Next time if the store doesn't have the Holdfast I'm not buying whatever they have instead... (I might try this Aquastick if I remember to order it next time I buy something from OA. Or if I see it locally somewhere..) Like Aquattro, I've used up pretty much an entire stick of Holdfast in the past and never had anything like this happen. I just wish I hadn't have run out of it last night..

Tony we sell the Holdfast (which I have had negative feedback) and we also sell the D&D coraline eproxy ( which we have not had a problem with and had positive feedback) The D&D plain eproxy I have never tried and looks like from your experience (WON'T).

Good timing for me to see this thread... I just finished using some epoxy to place a frag and after reading this I figured I should go check on my skimmer (It's the HOB type in a room with carpet). It was just starting to go nuts so I just unplugged it for the time being. Thanks for the heads up.
